answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2025 answer text <p>We recognise the importance of continued innovation in the textiles sector and, as we develop the Circular Economy Strategy for England, we will consider the evidence for action right across the economy and evaluate what interventions may be needed. Over the coming months, the Circular Economy Taskforce is identifying specific subject areas, such as extended producer responsibility, requiring deeper exploration to test with industry leaders, trade associations, and other key stakeholders in the sector. This will ensure that the Strategy reflects the needs and insights of all involved before publication in autumn this year.</p> answering member printed Baroness Hayman of Ullock question first answered 09/05/2025 11:38:02 answering member 4395 label Biography information for Baroness Hayman of Ullock
